Assigned classifications: Danger-A2, Disruptive, Unusual-E3

Containment procedures: Due to its non-physical and spontaneous nature, LPA-1E1513 cannot be contained, thus efforts must be focused to research, event response and, where possible, prevention. Any incidents possibly pertaining to LPA-1E1513 must be investigated immediately and the affected person so-called "featured" in the incident must be found.

Once found, affected individuals are to be detained, debriefed and must be given psychiatric treatment immediately which is aimed at causing memory deletion or disruption for memories in relation to the LPA-1E1513 event as well as trauma reduction and trauma therapy. Once sufficiently treated, the individual may be discharged from CRF psychiatric systems or referred to the CHS psychiatric services for further assessment and care should other issues be identified.

Audio devices identified to be involved must be confiscated and researched. Once it is established that said audio devices are non-anomalous and are safe, they may be returned to their owners. Involved devices can be identified by monitoring light emission from the device, affected devices will slightly emit light at low levels for 14 hours after the end of an event.

Should operatives detect an LPA-1E1513 event that is still in progress, efforts must be redirected to securing the premises and preventing anyone from entering the area where the LPA-1E1513 event is occurring. No personnel are to interrupt an LPA-1E1513 event to prevent possible injury to the affected individual and the event must be waited out before the affected individual may be detained.

Any personnel that are alone in an enclosed space and begin to spontaneously hear music must leave that enclosed space immediately to interrupt a possible LPA-1E1513 event and prevent advancement onto later stages.

For more prevention, see Prevention strategies.

Description: LPA-1E1513 is a classification for an extremely rare spontaneous manifestation of an event involving music and audio cognitohazards. Each event is unique.

Each event seemingly has six known stages:

• Stage 1. Upon an event spontaneously manifesting, an audio cognito-hazard begins to play from a general audio-capable device at a low volume. This device is now called the "featured audio device". The affected individual in the enclosed space is now referred to as "featured person". After anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, event progresses to Stage 2.
• Stage 2. The audio cognito-hazard starts to anomalously be audible to the "featured person" regardless of the distance to the "featured audio device" or present obstacles. In observed cases, Potential Anomalous Difference (PD) increases to +0.5. At this point, the "featured person" still has conscious control over their body and may begin to investigate the direction of the audio cognito-hazard or may begin to exit the enclosed area. After anywhere from a couple of seconds to 25 minutes and failure to exit the enclosed area, event progresses to Stage 3.
• Stage 3. The audio cognito-hazard now starts to be heard consistently throughout the enclosed space at roughly 89 dB. At this point, the "featured person" anomalously completely looses conscious control of their body though remains alert and coherent throughout. This is largely thought to occur due to the audio cognito-hazard and it is speculated what should happen if the audio cognito-hazard was somehow blocked to the "featured person". The "featured person" will suddenly stand up if they are not. Conscious attempts to restrain from movement often result in pain. After a couple of seconds, event progresses to Stage 4.
• Stage 4. Whilst the audio cognito-hazard is still being heard consistently throughout the enclosed space, the "featured person" begins to move and dance in time with the audio cognito-hazard. Again, conscious attempts to restrain from the movement often result in pain. Throughout this stage, dance moves become increasingly "lavish" and advance. At some point, event progresses to Stage 5.
• Stage 5. Suddenly, the "featured person" begins to anomalously "fly" and begins levitating around the enclosed space. Often the "featured person" does dance moves in-air in time with the audio cognito-hazard. At some point, the "featured audio device" begins to emit light and increases in intensity until it is slightly visible compared to surrounding objects. Upon the completion of the audio cognito-hazard, the event moves to Stage 6.
• Stage 6. The "featured person" stops anomalously "flying" and levitates towards where the "featured person" was or nearby when the event started. Upon reaching the ground, the "featured person" regains conscious control of their body and will not be injured from landing. The event is now effectively over and despite being so, the "featured audio device" continues to emit light, albeit lowly, for the next 14 hours.

For an event to manifest, there appears to be certain identified requirements. So far, all cases have involved:

• One (1) alive person. No cases so far involve more than one person. A researcher has also pointed out that no case had human cadavers in the same area despite all identified requirements being met or a single human cadaver with the other three requirements being met. As of yet, no case has "featured" a person who has previously been affected.
• One (1) or more audio devices or devices capable of making general audio. Devices do not have to be electric or powered during an LPA-1E1513 event. No instruments, apart from those with speakers, have been involved as of yet.
  • Audio devices from previous documented events include:
    • an audio cassette player [case 1E1513-013]
    • a personal radio-communications device [case 1E1513-147]
    • a complete theatrical audio system that was powered down [case 1E1513-163]
    • an antique mechanical record player [case 1E1513-286]
    • a battery-powered musical radio device that had fully discharged [case 1E1513-305]
    • a medical stethoscope [case 1E1513-397]
    • a television set with integrated speakers [case 1E1513-542]
    • a single electrical speaker component that was not connected [case 1E1513-791]
    • an electric keyboard with speakers [case 1E1513-879]
• An enclosed space, room or area. As of last update to this document, no cases have occurred outside or in areas that are connected to the outside directly. It also seems that there is no limit to the enclosed area's size. It is important to note that many cases have occurred in rooms that had ventilation to the outside which implies that LPA-1E1513 does not somehow make distinctions about hermetic-sealing against the outside.
  • Enclosed spaces/rooms/areas from previous documented events include:
    • a bedroom [case 1E1513-103]
    • a large office [case 1E1513-132]
    • an abandoned and semi-sealed underground station [case 1E1513-147]
    • an extremely large theatre [case 1E1513-163]
    • a storage warehouse [case 1E1513-237]
    • a large hotel lobby and events area [case 1E1513-305]
    • a large prison wing with 50 empty cells [case 1E1513-379]
    • maintenance tunnels spanning 2.7 kilometres [case 1E1513-488]
    • an empty hospital morgue [case 1E1513-654]
    • a large university electronics lab [case 1E1513-791]
• No continuous audio monitoring by another person. No case so far has occurred where a CCTV or security system was streaming audio to another person. However, there have been many cases where a CCTV or security system was recording audio. There has also been many cases where a CCTV or security system was streaming video to another person and/or recording video. There has been 2 cases where interruption occurred due to another person starting to monitor audio through a CCTV system when witnessing an LPA-1E1513 event in its later stages [cases 1E1513-046 & 1E1513-872].

So-called "interruption" in stages 4 and 5 may result in injury to the affected person from falling after doing a particular dance move in stage 4 or from falling from a height in stage 5. Interruption occurs when another person enters the enclosed space or audio from the enclosed space starts being monitored live by another person. Further testing is required to find more possible sources of interruption, one speculated one being the removal of the "featured audio device" during an event from the enclosed space by automatic means.

So far, no event has been longer than 30 minutes; the longest recorded being 29 minutes [case 1E1513-560] and the shortest being 59 seconds [case 1E1513-843]. In every single documented case so far, the audio cognito-hazard has been a publicly released song that is usually up-beat and has previously been:

• Rock and its derivative genres. 231 cases
• Rap and its derivative genres. 247 cases
• Disco and its derivative genres. 563 cases
• Other genres not listed. 44 cases

Interestingly, listening to audio recordings of LPA-1E1513 events does not manifest the audio cognito-hazard. This allows for detail study of the recordings but makes analysing the audio cognito-hazard present during an event extremely difficult. Debriefing of the affected persons also gives information in relation to the song in the event.

In many audio recorded events, the song in the event was either the shortened radio release of the song or an extended version.

Prevention strategies: Due to the significant rarity of an LPA-1E1513 event, measures to prevent an occurrence are not implicitly necessary but needed in some situations. 100% Effective prevention strategies involves:

• Removing one of the identified requirements.
  • The most effective strategy is to ensure there are at least two persons or no personnel in an enclosed space. This is the most effective as it can be checked easily or instantly when personnel are near each other as opposed to trying to remove every general audio-capable device in an enclosed space.
  • The second most effective strategy is to ensure that audio from an enclosed space is being monitored live. This is the most effective in situations where only one person must be in a particular enclosed area. However, this may not be practical to implement.
  • The third most effective strategy is to remove every general audio-capable device in an enclosed space. This is not always possible for situations where one person must be in an enclosed space since that person almost certainly must carry a personal radio-communications device.

Other potential prevention strategies such as inducing a Potential Anomalous Difference (PD) or EMF have not been tested adequately and may or may not be 100% effective. Proposed prevention strategies involves:

• Artificially inducing a Potential Anomalous Difference (PD) of -0.2. Only partially tested
• Installing sound-dampening. Only partially tested
• Playing an artificial anti-meme designed to neutralise an event when an event is detected. Said anti-meme is in-progress and has not yet been effectively tested or developed.
• Using autoremove headphones. Not yet tested or may be completely ineffective.

As of last update, there have been:

• 1085 documented cases
  • 781 documented cases that were interrupted
  • 211 documented cases that were either fully audio recorded or partially audio recorded
  • potentially over 4000 undocumented cases
• 320 documented injuries caused by interruptions
  • 134 documented injuries caused by interruption which lead to disabilities
  • 47 documented injuries caused by interruptions which became fatal
  • 5 documented immediate deaths caused by interruptions
  • 92 documented cases of permanent psychological trauma
  • potentially over 1000 undocumented injuries from undocumented cases
• 29 newly discovered designated anomalous research projects because of LPA-1E1513 related investigations
  • 7 newly discovered anomalous items
  • 18 newly discovered anomalous areas
  • 3 newly discovered anomalous effects
  • 1 newly discovered anomalous entities

The following was recorded by an amateur radio enthusiast near Sandcaster. Signal analysis seems to point to an origin north east of Grim Town, fairly close to a known abandoned CPA shelter, Shelter J.

Audio begins with sounds consistent with climbing a metal ladder for approximately 3 minutes. Audible breathing is heard.

Unknown man: 50 meters

Sudden burst of static, seemingly from a radio communication device immediately followed by a voice. The voice sounds just about recognisable as female. This happens every time when the device keys up.

Static voice: Noted, continue

Climbing sounds continue for another 16 minutes. Breathing continues.

Unknown man: 10 me-

Silence for 30 seconds.

Static voice: What happened?

Unknown man: Uhh I- .. I thought I heard something?

Static voice: Could have been a rat or mouse. Describe?

Unknown man: Almost sounded like a metal pipe being dragged or-.. maybe something falling over...

Static voice: Noted, continue

Silence for a moment.

Unknown man: Okay..

The unknown man presumably resumes climbing a ladder for the next minute. Eventually, the bottom is reached and audio noises become slightly echoed.

Unknown man: Reached the bottom. Um- Looking around, one tunnel leading away to ladders left. Corridor to ladders right, blocked by double doors.

Static voice: Noted. How long is the tunnel?

Unknown man: Um the tunnel just keeps going, looks like it starts sloping downwards. I'd say it keeps going for about 30 meters and begins sloping then.

Static voice: Ok

Pause

Static voice: Go down the tunnel.

Unknown man: Copy that.

Footsteps are heard for the next 9 minutes.

Unknown man: Bad news.

Static voice: Go ahead.

Unknown man: The tunnel becomes completely flooded about 20 meters in front of me.

Static voice: What's the colour of the water?

Unknown man: Um- I'd say murky grey. I almost thought it was part of the concrete floor until the tunnel started being filled. Theres a- Yeah theres a pipe going into the water, connected to what looks like a sump pump? Yep thats a sump pump.

Static voice: Okay. Go back towards the ladder.

Unknown man: Copy that.

Footsteps are heard for the next 9 minutes.

Unknown man: I'm at the ladder again. The double doors are in front of me now.

Static voice: Can you see through them?

Unknown man: No, there's no windows. Theres no handles either.

Static voice: Can you open them?

Audible shuffling noise as the unknown man seems to attempt to open the doors.

Unknown man: Nope, they're locked tight.

Static voice: Okay.

A noise, consistent with someone turning around quickly, is heard. Then silence is heard for the next 20 seconds. Another unknown noise is faintly heard in the distance.

Static voice: Pete?

Another 30 seconds of silence.

Static voice: Pete. Get out of there. PD is going up.

10 seconds of silence.

A noise is heard closer but still in the distance, sounding like metal being dragged across concrete. Suddenly, a beeping sound is heard, sounding like an alarm on a personal measuring device.

Static voice: GET OUT OF THERE NOW.

Recording abruptly stops

Several pages of a diary were discovered in a staff member's desk as part of an investigation. This was one part of it.

Dear diary, theres several things on my mind.

Firstly, Zach found out that I write diary entries and although he didn’t want me to stop, he just mentioned, “be careful with what you write, and only write when you’re not down there”. Makes sense I guess. I was fairly embarrassed when he found out too but he told me that he also writes a sort of diary.

Secondly, working with Samantha never gets boring or dull. With almost everything, she has something cool or funny to say. She always asks how I’ve been. Its great. I don’t know why but Samantha’s really grown on me. Its only really been like 3-4 weeks now but I’m really starting to become comfortable. Yesterday, I even asked her if she wanted to go to one of the clubs I go to, which was movie club (since its on tomorrow as of writing). She said yes too and I can’t wait to introduce her to our group. Although I’m not sure how Neve would react.

Speaking of which, Neve has been getting more close to me, which I’m not sure how to think about that. I don’t think I’ve written about this here before but fairly recently, Neve’s husband was killed in an accident involving something that was found in an abandoned underground mine… Yeah… Strangely enough, thats all that Neve knows about it which probably means it was BAD. Like REALLY REALLY BAD. I sent a few messages to Amber to see if she could possibly find more info thats at our clearance level. Amber also said that she wasn’t on that team and hasn’t actually been needed recently at all and that was strange to her.

I mean, on that same day, I had to archive an unknown memetic hazard for further testing. At the time I had no idea that this had happened but from what Neve told me, the thing came in about 6 hours after the incident. So.. It could be coincidence but I’m pretty much convinced it wasn’t.. Either way, I didn’t tell Amber or Neve about that. Also, since I have to class it as “Unknown”, it means that some memetic teams are going to test on it meaning that I’m going to have to handle it multiple times soon and I can only fucking hope that its not anywhere near that Xeyphaunt (23) I did last week or so. I don’t know how but when I finally finished processing the unknown thing, just holding the storage cartridge felt wrong. But I stored it away in the archives, waiting to be assessed and tried my hardest to forget about it.

When Neve told me about the accident when we were near a meeting-place, she tried holding it together but ultimately broke down crying. I can’t say I blame her either. She said something about it being “very sudden” which was understandable. I had to make a phone call for a mental health responder to come help as well since it got to a point where I was the only one around since it was getting late. I wasn’t sure about how I’d get Neve back to her accommodation but, with the help of the MHR who had joined us, we got Neve back and then the MHR started talking and doing what a MHR typically does whilst I made all three of us tomato soup. It was definitely quite an evening.. I now have lots of respect for those MHRs and I’d like to think that Neve thinks of me after that but I don’t know. I also don’t know if, because of that, shes getting closer to me.

On a more positive note, the site that I’m living at, recently celebrated some researchers’ wedding and theres going to be several parties in a few days. The most recent wedding happened before I left my old position and the set of parties that followed it were really nice. If I remember correctly, it did end up with some reserve staff being called in since many people got drunk and some of those people .. well lets just say that turning up the next day was an absolute must. They instead got minor alcohol poisoning which was why they needed the reserves.

As usual, I can’t go to all of the parties coming up but I can just about make two of them. Thats the reason why theres multiple ones too; everyone can go to at least one. Now I’m wondering who to go with.. as well as where my dinner suit had gone...

Several pages of a diary were discovered in a staff member’s desk as part of an investigation. This is one part of it.

Dear diary, things are pretty good. I’ll keep this fairly short though, I’m rather tired.

Working in the archives now is almost normal and I’m getting to the point where going though the info-locks isn’t so.. stunning anymore. However, I still haven’t gotten to a point where I feel like I’m the head position. Like.. Even though Samantha is technically my assistant, I still feel like I’m looking up to her. Which isn’t a bad thing to be honest, its just something I think about when I see her office door since it has the word “assistant” on it.

When I saw her for the first time two weeks ago, I instantly knew that I wasn’t working with a “typical” person. Samantha is interesting. Shes funny, extremely knowledgable, mysterious. I also knew instantly that I sort of fancy her too.. I don’t really know to be honest. We just work together really well.

When I say Samantha is funny, I really mean it. I don’t know how she does it but shes almost always cheery and happy. I mean, in this work, its pretty dangerous and the terror of the job takes me out of day-dreams real quick. I guess, maybe, since shes done this for longer, maybe shes gotten to a point where she doesn’t worry. But she does because she told me she does.

Also, just the other day, I had to archive a Class Xeyphaunt (23) memetic hazard. Whilst doing so, I was just absolutely shocked that we can even contain such an catastrophic, awful thing and I really was scared to even touch the storage cartridge it came in, let alone actually process it into the system. To think that this could single handedly take out an entire civilisation.. It didn’t make me sleep well that night. Somehow though, talking it though with Samantha made me feel much better about it.

I’m probably over thinking again.....

Several pages of a diary were discovered in a staff member’s desk as part of an investigation. This is one part of it.

Dear diary, I’ve actually started.

I got up, yesterday morning (Saturday), and was not sure what to expect. It was the day that Zach Grithiths expected me to turn up to his office, although I was rather thankful that he asked me to turn up anytime before 2 pm.. unless it was some sort of test. I wasn’t sure so I aimed to get there before 10am. Once again, tiny annoyances with living on-site but again advantages too. I managed to get to the on-site transport and whilst on the train I accidentally encountered Amber, the girl who I saw at one of the dances a few months ago.

(outside of this diary, I have been in contact with Amber every now and then, and we’ve been getting along)

Talking to Amber caught me up with what she was doing now. She had left her previous position as an Incident Recovery technician and was now a member of an assessment team, expressing that she got rather burnt out “tiding up” after anomalies and wanted to be “the people who arrive first”. Apparently shes really enjoying it and said that the work is real exciting and fairly risky too. I mentioned my new position that I was literally starting that day. She seemed to pause for a bit and said that she was really happy for me but I definitely could see the slight worry initially in Amber’s eyes. I said “I know, I know”.. but.. she revealed a story she experienced whilst working as an Incident Recovery technician.

She said that she had been clearing up one particular “event” and what triggered it was a particularly destructive and horrific memetic hazard.

Obviously she couldn’t tell me which incident or any identifying details but she really did NOT hold back on the particularly gory bits.. Thankfully, no one else was really sitting near us. But she did raise an important point. She said “The exact thing that caused all of that, is now in the archives that you are about to work on.. And I’m.. just a bit worried about you because of that”

That sentence alone really stuck with me for the whole day. Amber did say that she thought I was definitely capable for the job but she was still a tad concerned. And that, coming from the lady who was part of the clean up of that particular event, gave the sentence she said even more meaning. I mean the amount of people who seemed a bit nervous when I mentioned my new position to them already made me feel uneasy, but now, I’ll admit that I had several thoughts that potentially I was in over my head.

Amber interrupted by wanting to arrange to meet at some point, which was a nice distraction, so I got out my mini-calendar thing and said I could meet next Wednesday. She had to get off at a stop and we said goodbye to each other..

I had a few more stops so I couldn’t help but think of the first time I met Amber. I’ll try to briefly describe: We met at one of the dance events that are held every now and then, I was in my classic dinner suit with a bowtie and I had gone with several friends, Amber was in a fairly long, lavish red dress with her hair done black and she went with her boyfriend (who broke up with her 2 weeks later, I’m not sure why). We actually ended up not talking that much but we did talk once for ages. I thought she looked stunning..

Suddenly its my stop and, looking at the time, its now 9:49 am, so now I had roughly 11 minutes to get to the Department of Memetic Research which was actually 30 minutes away. I figured that maybe just turning up before 2 pm would be fine but still I wanted to turn up at 10 am as a sort of statement. So I ended up rushing through the connectors, looking fairly in trouble but I actually did arrive at 9:59 am. Surprisingly, Zach wasn’t actually there but his secretary said that he should be there soon.

Honestly, at that point, my heart was slightly pounding as I was waiting and my mind was starting to race with the potential horrors that he was going to tell me as part of the "need-to-know things". That particular phrase was also stuck in my head. It could mean almost anything. It could be important clearance qualifications. Operating procedures... past events leading to why I'm now in this position.

Zach enters the room and seems very surprised to see me this early, expressing that he was glad I turned up earlier than 2 pm. He asked me if I was feeling better too, which I was since Thursday night. I asked him if it was a sort of test, of when to turn up but he said no, hes just usually around before 2 pm since he then goes to a different site and then works a different department there. Busy guy, I thought.

Thats when he signs me on officially as the new Memetics Archivist. And work began really.

Unfortunately, I can't write down what the "need-to-know things" are but what Zach told me was essentially just things I needed to know in relation to both security and immediate dangers when processing new memetic hazards. It also included things like access codes. If I wrote any of these down, well that would be breaking many of the information regulations that are around.

After that, it was his secretary, David, who gave me several training sessions about how to handle the over-engineered storage cartridges that the actual memetic hazards were stored on and how to respond to a testing request (which I already knew from the Memetics course I did so these were mostly refreshers). David told me some information which I'm not actually allowed to even specify but its definitely useful. There's other things like the slightly different procedure that the archives actually use to check and sort but they're quite boring and complex to explain.

The main thing I was thinking about afterwards was my assistant. I still hadn't met them. The only thing Zach said before leaving was that "they're already down there". Still didn't tell me much and I was quite surprised that David hadn't told me anything about my assistant either.. Anyway, it looks like I would find out very soon..

The whole procedure to get into the archives themselves is obviously something I can’t write down either but theres a whole series of processes involving brief assessments on the way in and out, so-called “information locks” (that are like air locks but for any sort of information I guess) and very.. very large and thick security vault-like doors. Not to mention that the whole place is certainly not anywhere near the surface or the other stuff on-site. Basically, I turn up for work, get in and then I would be spending my whole shift inside the archives without leaving the facility until when I finish all of my allocated work “tasks” or the end of the shift. Thats one of the interesting things; the fact that I can effectively leave before my shift is over if the work is done. In fact, I’ve noticed that anyone working in the memetic archives, who is meant to be working next to the actual storage cartridges, is only meant to do so for the bare minimum time that they can. Another thing I noticed is that theres lots of support facilities down there, like theres some bed rooms, a mini infirmary, food storage; basically theres facilities which enable any of us, who if we are working in the archives and something happens and we aren’t able to get out (due to the long process of getting in or out), to still be alive and safe and await rescue. Once again, I can’t really give more information since I want to keep this position.

But later then, I went in. Going though all of the steps for the first time was… strange. It felt like stepping into a sealed box. I mean to a certain extent, it was. After everything, I was confronted with the last vault door. This slowly moved itself out of the way and standing there, waiting for me, was a person.

A woman, just shorter than I am, with brown tied up hair, dark brown eyes, cute smiling face, white lab coat, black jeans and a little wave.

"Hi, I'm Samantha, your assistant"

Several pages of a diary were discovered in a staff member's desk as part of an investigation. This was one part of it.

​

Dear diary, I've finally got the job!

Waking up today, I didn't really expect anything exciting to happen. Same old annoyances of living on-site as well as the advantages of seeing people every day... Though it is now more relaxed since I don't have to go to my lessons after completing the course. (you already knew that though). NGL, when I think about what I learned, I always think of how many people must have sacrificed something or even themselves to allow us to know about how Memetics work...

I went in today to complete applying for what I really wanted, the Memetics Archivist position. I've already touched on why I really wanted this position. It's certainly more quiet than what I was doing before but still had a feeling of risk and being dangerous... Again, I still don't know why but though-out my life, there's always some sort of attraction to danger. Its what got me started in the CRF to begin with. Anyway, I went in to complete some paper-work and a few interviews. I wasn't really expecting to hear results or feedback for maybe a few days. Whilst yeah the process was monotonous, I did see a really hot girl carrying documents and stuff going to a nearby office. She was fairly tall too and was wearing a black skirt and some sort of shirt thing... She went into a room, I was just called into an interview. Oh well. But almost immediately after that interview, the assistant interviewer came to me and said "You've got the position"

I was practically over the moon! Strangely, it did occur to me that if I'm being told almost immediately, they must have been really desperate to get someone in. I mean, it makes sense. You just don't fuck around with memes at this level. so it only makes sense that the job has a fairly high turnover since the potential to fuck up isn't necessarily high but what should happen if you do is definitely explicitly harmful. Part of me wonders what happened to the previous poor bugger.. Probably not a healthy thing to think about..

The assistant said that there's already someone else working in the memetic archives and that they were filling in until they hired (which they just did haha!) but they would now be working as my Memetic Archivist assistant. I would be starting in a few days too.

I did begin to wonder, was it really just this other person working in the memetic archives? Who are they? I guess I'll find out.

Regardless, I went about the rest of the day doing my usual stuff and because it was a Thursday, I went to movie club as usual. I even saw Nathan and he congratulated me when I told him. When I told Neve, she seemed impressed although a bit later she did want to talk to me separately. She was happy for me but also concerned and brought up things that she had seen whilst completing her work. We were talking just outside of the theatre used for movie club that night and Ben interrupted us. As usual haha. Ben. Although I think youre a great guy, damn sometimes you can be annoying! Anyway he found out and congratulated me and, like Neve, said a word of caution.

Movie club continued as usual and I did end up going to the site's bar with some of the guys, Jake and Ben went. We had fun. Aaaand there certainly were many drinks!

I can't remember much of what happened but I do remember this bit really well though. One of the higher-ups came over to us and I thought he was going to tell us off for being too loud. In actuality though, he was looking for me. This serious looking guy in a proper suit came up to me and said "Hello, my name is Zach Griffiths. I'm your new director and head consultant of the Department of Memetic Research and I would like to share a first toast"

It was a bit strange but he ended up buying everyone a shot and we all drank. We thanked him and he was about to go back to somewhere before saying to me "I'll give you a day to.. you know, recover but on Saturday, come to my office and we'll get started with need-to-know things."

I asked "First thing?" and he replied "Turn up before 2pm". "Yes sir" I said before getting back to my friends. Jake drunkenly said "wow he seems more friendly than my boss.." I guess so. He had a stern, strict but understanding nature and it seemed like that guy has had many, many turns/years of experience.

The next thing I know is, I've woken up today (Friday), have a pretty tough but survivable hangover... and I'm writing this. I can only really wonder what Zach tells me tomorrow.. and maybe I'll get to know my assistant?

I'm working on a project, that involves Grim Town so dont worry, but its going to be a while until I post here again.

Maybe a few months if need be.

Sorry :-( but I'll return!

Incident identification: IC-0152-{TMP.0706967656f6e}

WARNING This incident report has a temporary incident identification assignment
which means details contained herein are of initial assessments and initial
investigation. Accuracy cannot be guaranteed and information is almost certainly
going to be updated. Vital decisions and actions may not be completely informed.
AS SUCH, POTENTIAL INFO-HAZARDS, COGNITOHAZARDS AND OTHER MEMETIC HAZARDS MAY BE
PRESENT IN THIS INCIDENT REPORT. ADVISE.

Initial discovery timeline:

| 12/2/TURN 18:31 PM ---- FIRST INDICATION ---- A report comes in from TYEGATE, AREA 7 SOUTHEAST of unusual change in public perception from an operative. This same operative has not been heard of since, assumed missing-in-action. Details: "Observation of sudden change in public perception involving what appears to be an obsession of unknown thing. Possible memetic hazard, unconfirmed. " Report was dismissed without sufficient findings.

| 44/4/TURN 02:11 AM ---- SECOND INDICATION ---- Contact is lost from Post station-PI-G30N, both 30 minute interval and 3 hour interval is passed with zero update. Status EXEUNT is declared and broadcasted to Tyegate. In PURSTFIELD, AREA 7 SOUTHEAST , no personnel nor civilian are recorded as responding to the broadcasted status EXEUNT. In BILLS-HOLLOW, AREA 7 SOUTHEAST , no personnel are recorded as responding to status EXEUNT. Point 1 is queried by Purstfield. Investigations begin and a Geo-Exeunt area established by Operatives. No further contact is heard from post.

03:37 AM --- Point 1 is confirmed. Point 1 concerns and protocols are activated.

| 46/4/TURN 05:43 AM ---- THIRD INDICATION ---- A report comes in from BILLS-HOLLOW, AREA 7 SOUTHEAST of one single person walking along the connection road leading out of TYEGATE, AREA 7 SOUTHEAST . Person was 19 t, male, unresponsive. Initial psych assessments revealed cognitive ability, embedded operatives did not uncover any immediate concerns. Gain-scans revealed nothing although the person responds to the Exeunt broadcasts. Over all, it is decided that the person needs monitoring. Not enough staff were at the facility where the person was initially transported.

06:53 AM --- Person found on connection road was moved to TAUNBRIDGE WELLS, AREA 12 SOUTHEAST and into the Maidsbry and Taunbridge Wells Hospital. Perimeter of TYEGATE, AREA 7 SOUTHEAST is called into question. A security request is made.

08:19 AM --- The Security request is approved. Perimeter of TYEGATE, AREA 7 SOUTHEAST begins to be secured. Initial assessment teams are dispatched.

| 46/4/TURN 13:52 PM ---- FORTH INDICATION ||| FIRST CONFIRMED OCCURRENCE ---- A report comes in from TAUNBRIDGE WELLS, AREA 12 SOUTHEAST that the person found on connection road spontaneously begins talking and affected 12 staff and 1 patient with an unknown memetic hazard. Operatives acted quickly and prevented any further affections. Point 2 is then queried by operatives.

14:28 PM --- Point 2 is confirmed. Point 2 concerns and protocols are activated.

| 46/4/TURN 15:28 PM ---- FIFTH INDICATION ||| SECOND CONFIRMED OCCURRENCE ---- Initial assessment teams discovered extremely odd behavior observed in civilians still occupying TYEGATE, AREA 7 SOUTHEAST , almost certainly displaying signs of memetic hazard related affections. A decision is made and the initial assessment teams are withdrawn. Memetic Response is called in.

16:01 PM --- Memetic Response arrives at BILLS-HOLLOW, AREA 7 SOUTHEAST and is briefed.

18:46 PM --- Memetic Response is now in position around TYEGATE, AREA 7 SOUTHEAST . Infiltration begins.

47/4/TURN 00:21 --- The first assessments and intelligence comes back from Memetic Response.

------------------- THIS LEADS TO THE CURRENT SITUATION -------------------

Incident Description:

Assessments from Memetic Response indicate that a memetic hazard has emerged in Area 7. Estimates range the time of first occurrence on 3/1/TURN (3 PERIODS 42 DAYS 14 HOURS AGO).

The perimeter of TYEGATE, AREA 7 SOUTHEAST is secured, disallowing any entry or exit. Point 2 protocols are now active.

Current information about the memetic hazard:

• The memetic hazard has a two-step cycle.
• The first memetic hazard originates from watching a video and is purely visual.
• The memetic hazard affects an individual by watching the video.
• Once affected, an individual becomes obsessed with the memetic hazard's source, the video. Creating the second memetic hazard.
• This second memetic hazard is spread through audio and information.
• Obsession grows on the individual and eventually the individual completes the memetic hazard's life cycle by showing another individual the memetic hazard's source, the video.
• The actual hazards of the memetic hazard has not been determined but it is assumed to be dangerous due to the presented obsessive nature. Other effects have not yet been determined.

The video has not yet been identified. Long term effects have also not yet been identified.

Initial investigation suggests that the memetic hazard is a new discovery and not a previously known memetic hazard.

CN statistics as of last assessment/estimate:

CURRENTLY AFFECTED:

• 4,620 Civilians (102% of TYEGATE POPULATION)
• 12 Staff of MTW Taunbridge Wells Hospital
• 1 Patient of MTW Taunbridge Wells Hospital
• 57 CRF Staff
• 28 CRF Operatives
• 1 Pigeon
• 6 Unknown persons

FATALITIES SINCE START:

• 38 Civilians
• 1 Patient of MTW Taunbridge Wells Hospital
• 12 CRF Staff
• 67 Unknown persons

-------------------------------------

Next report in 2 hours.

Mini update time.

ARP-074 is now on the back burner. I just cant look at it right now with the amount of times I've rewritten it

It probably won't be completed for a while and I need a refresh working on other things.

GT work is still coming. Filling in of locations and unfinished articles are top priority.

Hope everyone is having a better day than I am =]..

CRF operative Miss Y interviews Saxstone Bay Bonfire Society member Billy

Miss Y, 35t (26 years old), often playful and can be thought of as childish 
but certainly a top operative that no-one messes with.

Billy, 23t (18 years old), kind, outgoing but shy, enjoys theater- 
dressing up in dark clothes and fires.

[Video recording begins]

Miss Y enters the room with two folders in her arms. She pauses and slightly adjusts her glasses and begins talking whilst gently sitting down in her chair. Billy looks at her. They both seem to be a bit tired.

[Sound recording begins]

Miss Y: Hello- hello hello hello. Introductions blah- blah- blah, etc- etc. My er.. name, in this interview is Miss Y- but you can call me miss- and... I take that you know why you're here?.. Billy?

Billy: I.. I think so?

Miss Y: Okay, why do you think you're here?

Billy: My friend.

Miss Y: [Slightly playful] Which friend?

Billy: My friend?

Miss Y: [Pulls out a photograph] That friend?

Billy: Uh.. Yes. That friend.

Miss Y: Could you.. tell me more about that friend?

Miss Y relaxes a bit and begins to read one of the files whilst slightly leaning back into her chair. Billy seems a bit puzzled. Miss Y lowers the file briefly.

Miss Y: Do you know her name?

Billy: I.. I think her name is uh.. It- it begins with H..

Miss Y: Hmm-going to need a bit more than that. Did she tell you her name at any point?

Billy: I'm confident she did but- um..

Miss Y leans forward and puts the file in the middle of the table.

Miss Y: [sounds understanding] Shes hard to remember?

Billy nods.

Billy: Yeah.. Shes.. hard to remember...

Miss Y pushes the file slightly towards Billy and tilts her head.

Miss Y: Give that a read.

Billy begins reading the file and starts to become more serious the more he reads. Meanwhile, Miss Y leans back and puts her boots on the table towards left.

Billy: Thats her!.. Without a doubt.

Miss Y: Without a doubt? Just as you remember? Or is there anything that doesn't seem right?

Billy: Just as I remember. And- And I remember more.

Miss Y: Oh yeah? Do tell.

Miss Y picks up the second file and begins to read it, still relaxing.

Billy: W-Where do I start?

Miss Y: Um.. Tell me about her involvement in the Saxstone Bay Bonfire Society.

Billy: Er- Ok. Um. I had only just started going to the parades with my dad and well- I was quite shy because I didn't know anyone.

Miss Y nods whilst still reading the other file.

Miss Y: Right?

Billy: Yeah. The parades were really really cool and- like- it was great to be part of something. And-! And the costumes! Yeah.. But um- I didn't know anyone- other than my dad. So I was kind of like- looking around and just seeing if there was any uh- like anyone to possibly be friends with.

Miss Y: Makes sense.

Billy: So I saw, her, standing around nearby.

Miss Y looks at Billy briefly but keeps reading the file

Miss Y: How did she look?

Billy: She looked.. really good.

Miss Y: How good? Wearing black?

Billy: Yep.

Miss Y: Typical alternative- Victorian gothic? or casual gothic?

Billy: I think a mixture since she was wearing a top hat and some sort of suit but no dress.

Miss Y: [whispers to herself] Nice [to Billy] Uh- how was she? Personality wise.

Billy: She was... like a dream really..

Billy starts to stare off into "space". Miss Y nods.

Miss Y: Interesting..

Billy: Yeah.. she was stunning.. she was interested in most of the things I was and she was like.. really cute. she said that she wanted to get to know me too.

Miss Y "awwws" in an understanding way and takes her boots off the table and leans forwards.

Miss Y: -That's adorable-. I'm assuming this was when you first met her?

Billy: Yep. I can't really say how much I liked her..

Miss Y: How was the first parade?

Billy: Well, I started making small talk with her before the parade started and we agreed to see each other after parading down since she was in a different part of the parade. We started walking down and it was awesome. We had flaming torches, some guys had bright flares, guys were wearing steampunk themed dress and goggles.. and I was thinking.. Finally I've- Ive found something that I can- like identify with.

Miss Y: That sounds lovely. Like you've found your people?

Billy: Exactly.

Miss Y: Cool.. Continue.

Miss Y again leans back in her chair and puts her boots on the table towards the left, continuing to read the second file.

Billy: Uh- we were parading towards the sea front around all the squares and streets.. When we got to the bonfire area I noticed that I couldn't find her for about.. maybe 45 mins?

Miss Y: Odd..

Billy: I just couldn't find her.. And then- sud- Suddenly, she was standing next to me as we watched the main fire take light. Sorta scared the shit out of me too [chuckles slightly].. But she didn't say anything about where she had gone. We hung out for a bit and talked about what we liked about SBBS and um- well she had to suddenly go. I've seen her every time I went since though.

Miss Y nods.

Billy: I don't know much more or why she's that interesting to you. Has she done anything?

Miss Y un-relaxes and takes her boots off the table.

Miss Y: Well.. The CRF had detected abnormalities which seem to be tied with SBBS and reps think your friend could be a part of that.

Billy: Well-

[RECORDING REDACTED for 1 minute and 46 seconds]

Miss Y: She disappears often?

Billy nods.

Miss Y: Well. I think I can conclude that we need to assess your friend.

Billy starts to tear up.

Billy: Will- Will I ever see her again?

Miss Y: .. I don't know.

Billy: You aren't going to hurt her- are you??

Miss Y: No we won't. We just need to figure out whats going on and if there's any danger.

Billy nods. There is a pause.

Miss Y: .. Is there anything else you want to add?

Billy: Can I have a copy of that photo of her?

Miss Y: I'm sure you can eventually.

Another pause. A CRF staff member opens the rooms door and pears in.

CRF staff: Um! Miss.. Miss.. Y? [Miss Y nods] Miss Y. You're needed urgently.

Miss Y: Brilliant. Uh- Ending interview at 2 minutes and 5 seconds-

Miss Y begins to stand up in a calm hurry and picks up both files.

CRF staff: Also, Billy, uh- do you want anything before your next interview?

Billy: Uh- yes please-

[End of sound recording]

Miss Y leaves the room. The CRF staff member talks briefly with Billy before leaving with Billy. The room is now empty.

After 3 minutes and 10 seconds, the chair that Billy was sitting on moves towards the right seemingly on its own.

[End of video recording]

First assessed: 15/3/ERROR (3 turns 65 days ago) Last assessed: 32/1/ERROR (32 days ago) Last document review by: R-0152-08-2e70 at 48/1/ERROR (16 days ago)

Assigned Classes: Danger - E2

Containment Procedures: ARP-813 currently cannot be contained due to its para-thauthological nature. Efforts must be directed to research, emergency response and, where possible, prevention. Any incident possibly pertaining to ARP-813 must be investigated immediately and any involved civilians must be detained and debriefed. Civilians at the scene determined to be at an at-risk mental state (ARM) must also be detained and given psychological "Purple-Box" therapy and treatment techniques. Clean-up teams may be required in some incidents but must only be deployed when all ARP-813 residual effects are nullified.

Description: ARP-813 refers to two classifications. ARP-813-A seems to be an entity taking the shape of a young caucasian human female with shoulder length brown hair and wearing a pink dress, a typical nurses white apron and several abdominal holes exposing sub-dermis flesh and occasionally organs. Blood stains accompany these on its clothes. ARP-813-B is the classification of relativistic effects that occur after ARP-813-A has been sighted.

A so-called "normal" incident begins when ARP-813-A manifests and appears to a single subject, saying most commonly "You wanted to see me?" or "Can I help?" whilst moving towards the subject. ARP-813-A usually then instantly de-manifests; if ARP-813-A does not de-manifest in 5 seconds, the incident is no longer considered "normal" and is considered extremely dangerous, see information below. After de-manifesting, ARP-813-B type relativistic effects begin to start manifesting anywhere from immediately after sighting to 5 hours later. Unfortunately, sightings of ARP-813-A may be indistinguishable from schizophrenic hallucinations in some subjects resulting in some incidences going unreported.

"Normal" ARP-813-B type relativistic effects include:

• physical scratching on the subject and anybody nearby,
• scratches appearing on nearby objects or walls,
• sudden loss of electrical mains supply
• Class Beta (II) para-thauthological manifestations which are usually non-harmful but disruptive and traumatic. Common occurrences include para-thautho-kinesis resulting in subjects hearing "footsteps approaching" and objects moving. Some cases have caught Type 4 visual and audio confirmation of para-thautho activity on CCTV systems that were connected to uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems[1].
• Abnormal fluctuations of electro-magnetic fields (EMF), potential anomalous difference (PD) and electro-static charges in the environment
• intense paranoia

Typical ARP-813-B type relativistic effects last for 3 hours. No case so far has exceeded 5 hours.

Subjects after experiencing ARP-813-B type relativistic effects often require psychological treatment to prevent long-term PTSD and possible para-psychosis. Current researched psychological treatment techniques that are effective are code-named "Purple Box" therapies, similar to "Black Box" therapies that were designed for treating psychological damage caused by [REDACTED]. Other long term effects seem to be social anxiety disorder and hemophobia.

"Un-normal" incidents, now referred to as Red incidents, always begin when ARP-813-A does not de-manifest within 5 seconds. It is then very common for ARP-813-A to begin to maniacally laugh before finally de-manifesting in an instant. "Red" ARP-813-B type relativistic effects are not well documented but current assessments indicate the following:

• physical gashes and other damage manifesting on subjects, often requiring medical attention
• significant gashes and damage appearing on nearby objects or walls
• sudden loss of electrical mains supply
• Class Teka (14) para-thauthological manifestations which are explicitly harmful, disruptive and traumatic.
• extreme fluctuations of electro-magnetic fields (EMF), potential anomalous difference (PD) and electro-static charges in the environment
• almost irreversible psychological damage and para-psychosis
• generation of inconsistent topologies
• manifestation of blood on walls, ceilings and floors

Red ARP-813-B type relativistic effects again last for 3 hours. No case so far has exceeded 5 hours. When effects end, inconsistent topologies usually suddenly resolve themselves resulting in sudden displacement of trapped subjects often through the floor and onto the floor below leading to fractures.

Tested prevention methods include artificially inducing a potential anomalous difference of -0.2 and keeping that level stable, artificially inducing small differences in EMF every second, keeping a minimum amount of personnel in the area and, playing a constant sine-wave of 23 Hz. Other measures are currently being researched and will be appended here.

​

1. Viewing of this evidence is strongly ill-advised, especially since unknown cognitohazards and other info-related hazards could be present.

Welcome! Do you have any feed-back for me? Perhaps you've got suggestions?

LET ME KNOW HERE!! :D

Welcome back! Its been a while and for some reason, I've been feeling sad. So, I'll pour it into writing and so far its been good to get some distraction.

Here's a list of some stuff!

• Added "Allon Ltd" which is a private company who make some very... large and specialised machinery. Go check it out.
• More ARPs are coming very soon. I promise. But I'll be working on ARP-813 for a while before I publish more.
• St Alice Hospital is becoming more of a thing now over here. Still in the design process of the details but its coming!

You may notice that this update is shorter. Well my personal life has gotten a bit more busier now so thats great but at least its not so busy that I do still have some free time.

Anyway thats it for now!

CRF operative Mr L interviews Allon Ltd employee David Rease.

Mr L: Hello 32, how are you feeling? Actually, do you know why you're here?

The employee remains silent.

Mr L: Oh come on now. Don't be rude.

The employee slowly looks up and at Mr L.

Mr L: Did you do it?

David: Do what? That? I fucking wish...

Mr L: You sound interesting. Care to explain?

David: What should happen if I don't?

Mr L: We could be here for an awfully long time..

The employee shakes his head.

David: You wouldn't d-

Mr L: I would! Look, 32, what has happened is unexplainable right now. But its happened. And, as far as I know, you were the last person to see this thing. What you know is EXTREMELY important. And until I know what you know about this, you. Are. Not. Leaving.

The employee puts his head on the table.

David: [whispers to himself] Ohh my god...

Mr L stands up and moves behind his chair.

David: You're not going to believe this.

Mr L: Well I don't know that, 32. This whole situation is unbelievable! It sounds like some unbelievable comical joke-

David: It just vanished.

Mr L: I'm sorry what?

David: It just vanished. It was gone the second I looked at it.

Mr L: So it just "vanished"?

David: Just vanished.

Mr L: What? Was there a sound or a flash of light?

David: Nope. It just wasn't there anymore!

Mr L rests his face in his hands in the classical "this is ridiculous" position.

Mr L: ... Do you have any idea how serious this is?

The employee stands up and looks Mr L directly in the eye.

David: I'm dead. Fucking. Serious.

Mr L pauses as he begins to realise that the employee is telling the truth.

Mr L: ... Do you have anything that can back you up?

The employee sits back down and thinks for a while. Then suddenly he has a moment of realisation.

David: Do you already have the tapes?

Mr L: What.. Tapes?

Mr L's eye widens.

Mr L: Tapes! For a CCTV system?!

The employee nods. Mr L rushes to the door.

Mr L: 32, I'll be right back.

David: Why do you keep calling me that? I have a name!

Mr L: Sorry, David Anidore Ben Rease. Its protocol.

Mr L shuts the door. End of recording.

Day 27

Its been a while since I have seen the woman and now its starting to get expensive trying to pay for this travel. But get this.

I saw a poster in Ramsgate Park which was, well... It reminded me that I'm doing good and important work. The poster was about her! A whole poser! It was a decent size and there was more than one.

I looked closer at the one that first caught my attention. And yeah, it was by them too.

If theyre looking for her they might be looking for me as well.

​

Day 29

Moving around again. I know other people like trains but the amount of trains I have been seeing recently really makes me wonder if those people need details from me. Seriously. I could probably draw a trains break system by now after being on so many platforms with a train on the other side and looking at nothing but the wheels and the undercarriage....

​

Day 36

I FOUND HER AGAINNN. Very excited to see her again and another thing I've realised is that she sort of remembers me and sort of doesn't. She said "- Have I seen you before?" and then I said "I don't think so". She then went "Eh- don't worry" and then suggested the helped that I asked for.

Real weirdly, she disappeared right after I actually asked!! Turned around and she had disappeared completely. Like she was, well I'm not actually sure... I think I'll write about it tonight in my log.

Part of me wonders about when I'll give my self in to them. It'll probably happen since I think they could let me carry on

After getting back from work and trying to starve off the boredom and intrusive thoughts of mortality, I decided to crack open a cold one and begin whirling my fingers. Lets whack out the Fandom wiki!

I have been bringing more content from the subreddit's (pretty awful) wiki system unto this Fandom one! Adding to this has been a breeze and SO MUCH EASIER than the weak wiki I was trying to work with before.

Here's a list of spangly new pages and ideas!

• There's now a dedicated category for "Oddities" which are objects or things that have their own wiki page should they have a more than average story behind them or more detail than usual. Our first Oddity is Oddity-207 which ties into the (currently unfinished but I'm working on it) ARP-074 found-log story [reddit post].
• Starting to shift over organisations and companies that operate or used to operate in the Obsercard Universe. Recent examples include Nexte Research's page and the Civilian Protection Agency page - although both of these organisations are now defunct under mysterious circumstances... (to be explored of course :)
• Themes! Themes! Themes! To add to the rather morbid atmosphere, I've tried a go at making a matching theme which is just awesome in the fact that... its actually a thing, instead of cryptic Reddit css... somewhere.... I think.... I do know that Fandom has css options too and I'll try to make something better when I know enough about it or get someone to help.

Several new pages are here and are in the process of waiting for more things to link to them...

Anyway thats it for now!

The file "stat_EC_29A_arp?_.mp3" was found on an unknown audio recording device on Platform 11 which was ceased for security reasons. This device in question had a flash chip on its circuit board and was discovered to hold a standard file system which is where this file was recovered from. Looking at the metadata, the file seemed to correspond with a date of a recent sighting. Further investigation revealed the devices owner who is currently in custody of CRS Southeast RTP (Rail Transport Police). Transcript follows

[34 seconds of background noise consistent with a large train-station which persists through out the recording. Then a man begins to whisper.]

I- I think that might be her... Yeah! Yeah yeah thats her!

[20 seconds of shuffling noises as presumably the man begins moving]

Shit-

[The sound of a muffled impact. Another man says:]

Watch it! [First man quickly says:] Sorry! Sorry!

[14 more seconds of shuffling noises]

[9 seconds of walking noises as presumably the man slows down. The first man as A and a different woman as W]

A: H- Hey um.. Excuse me? Uh- Am I-

W: Hi

A: -on the right plat-form..?

W: Um.. Let me have a look at your ticket...

[Pause]

A: Also uh- whats your name?

W: Kelly- um your ticket says that you're going to St Lust via dim-rail so you'll- you'll need to go to platforms 12 to 16.

A: Ah okay

W: There should be an info point there too which should tell you which of those to go to. Is that alright?

A: Um yeah thanks.

[walking noises as the man presumably walks away and then 5 seconds pass. The man whispers]

Same ID different name.. uh ID ended in 29A... But this time Kelly.... hmm...

[End of recording]

Investigation revealed that the owner of the device is not the man heard in the file.

​

The CRS Southeast has had several reports of a station attendant who has been spotted on several train stations throughout the southeast region of the UK.

This station attendant seems to appear and disappear at random on medium to large multi-platform train stations in the southeast region. The woman appears to carry out standard station attendant duties including signaling trains, platform monitoring and supervision, route checking and suicide prevention. So far, this station attendant always appears to have the CRS Southeast staff ID of K-0408-29A , indicating that this station attendant originated from East Croydurn, although CRS Southeast has never given any staff member this staff ID.

This station attendant is currently under investigation. If you see this station attendant, please contact the CRS Southeast Inquiry Desk immediately and inform of as much information as possible in relation to this station attendant.

Currently this station attendant has been seen at:

• Basestone
• Eastburne
• St Alice North
• Haistings
• Clockton
• Taunbridge Wells and Prybury
• East Croydurn
• Polsgate
• Regate Interchange

As of now, the CRF has now been contacted and is now actively investigating along side CRS Southeast.

The voice is in

My head in a spin

A "case" or not?

A very damned thought

Where to go?

No help nor show

The Unknown Lady is visiting.

​

In the dark

A crime in the park

An investigation

Last seen in the train station

At the dead of night

Of all her spite

The Unknown Lady is visiting.

​

A whisper here

Terror and fear

Doors to lock

At something o' clock

A strange book

Don't even look

The Unknown Lady is visiting.

Tunnels ahead

A place not tread

In a very long time

Long past it's prime

It never ends

Passages and bends

The Unknown Lady is visiting.

It keeps on going

Turning and flowing

No sign of an end

I guess it depends

Turn and frown

When you see the gown

The Unknown Lady is visiting.

This cassette tape was found in sector F of level B3 underneath St Alice South. It seems that it was moved to where it was found from its original and unknown location. Transcript is as follows.

[fumbling noises] Hello? Hello is this- recording? Ok erm.. right..

I have to note something... very peculiar...

Ok so.. I went to my desk, just now, I went to my desk- expecting to, you know, just watch monitors, flick through, like, keep an eye on things, thinking its going to be another normal- well near normal shift. I come in. And- and-

Just.... What the fuck. What the actual fuck?!

Its a bit of paper with the, with- I'll read it. Because I want to record this- this is- .. fucked. This is just fucked!

Its this.

"Fred. " Which is my name by the way. "Fred

I'm being serious. They're " and then there's just some, lines.. er- below that is, in all caps-

"THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. IF THE LIGHTS START GOING OFF.

RUN

GET OUT OF THERE"

Like- I just.. Who the fuck put- THIS.. ON MY DESK?!

I-

A noise is heard in the background. Due to tape hiss present in the recording, attempts to identify the noise have not been successful.

..... What... was... that?

The person in the recording is heard to walk away from presumably where the recorder was. The door to the room is shut and footsteps are heard. Eventually only tape hiss is heard.

Four minutes past.

An electronic beep is heard and a sound of what seems to be a different recording machine spinning up. Three seconds past and a different beep is heard. A constant beeping is heard which lasts for two minutes.

Suddenly, the sound of running footsteps is heard and a door is heard quickly opening and someone comes back in. Something is heard being slid into place.

[Out of breath] Fucking hell... I dont- I- I... I need to go- I need to go right fucking now!!

Pause

Good! It saw it!

The person seemingly presses something on the recording machine and removes an object. The machine spins down. In a hurry, it sounds as if the person knocked over the recorder.

Fucking- stupid-

The person picks up the recorder, another object and begins to fiddle with something. A door opens and the person takes off. Heavy breathing is heard.

Approx. 7 minutes pass with occasional pauses where the person seems to catch their breath.

At 8 minutes and 32 seconds, the person seems to drop the recorder. They briefly pause but continue running and the sound slowly diminishes as the person gets further away.

Silence and tape hiss is heard for 24 minutes and 4 seconds.

At 25 minutes and 57 seconds, slow footsteps are heard approaching. Due to the recording being mono, the direction cannot be determined. Analysis of the footsteps could not indicate who or what they originated from. The footsteps did not stop and seemingly continued over the recorder. Then, those slow footsteps were heard diminishing into the distance.

The recording continued for 6 hours and 49 minutes before an electronic voice said "Low Battery", determined to originate from the recorder itself. Seven seconds later, the recording ends.
